St Mark 5
5
1AND they came over the strait of the sea into the country of the Gerasens.
2And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,
3Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains.
4For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.
5And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
6And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.
7And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.
8For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many.
10And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country.
11And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, feeding.
12And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, and were stifled in the sea.
14And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done:
15And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid.
16And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine.
17And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts.
18And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him.
19And he admitted him not, but saith to him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy on thee.
20And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered.
21And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.
22And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: and seeing him, falleth down at his feet.
23And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live.
24And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.
25And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years,
26And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse,
27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment.
28For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole.
29And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil.
30And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments?
31And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me?
32And he looked about to see her who had done this.
33But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease.
35While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further?
36But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe.
37And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much.
39And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.
42And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Mark 5
5
Power Over Demons
1They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
2As soon as Yeshua got out of the boat, a man from the graveyard with an unclean spirit met Him.
3He lived among the tombs, and no one could restrain him anymore, even with a chain.
4For he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but the chains had been ripped apart by him and the shackles broken. No one was strong enough to tame him.
5And through it all, night and day, at the graveyard and in the mountains, he kept screaming and gashing himself with stones.
6When he saw Yeshua from a distance, he ran and bowed down before Him.
7Crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What’s between You and me, Yeshua, Ben El Elyon? I’m warning you, in the name of God, do not torment me!”
8For Yeshua had said to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
9Then Yeshua began questioning him, “What is your name?” And he answered, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
10He kept begging Him not to send them out of the country.
11Now a large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby.
12The unclean spirits urged Him, saying, “Send us to the pigs, so we may enter them.”
13So Yeshua gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs. And the herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the cliff and were drowned in the sea.
14The herdsmen ran away and told the town and countryside, and they came to see what had happened.
15Now they came to Yeshua and saw the madman who had had the legion. He was sitting there, dressed in clothes and in his right mind. The people were scared.
16Those who had seen it described in detail what had happened to the man plagued by a demon, and they also told about the pigs.
17And they began to beg Yeshua to leave their country.
18As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been infested with demons kept begging to remain with Him.
19Yeshua did not let him, but He told him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much Adonai has done for you, how He showed you mercy.”
20So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Yeshua had done for him. And all were amazed.
Power in His Touch
21When Yeshua had crossed over in the boat again to the other side, a big crowd gathered around Him; and He was by the sea.
22Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, comes. Seeing Him, he falls at His feet.
23He begs Him a great deal, saying, “My little daughter is near death! Come and lay hands on her so that she may be healed and live!”
24So Yeshua went off with him, and a big crowd was following Him and pressing upon Him.
25And there was a woman with a blood flow for twelve years,
26who had suffered much under many doctors. She had spent all that she had without benefit; instead, she grew worse.
27When she heard about Yeshua, she came through the crowd from behind and touched His garment.
28For she kept saying, “If I touch even His clothes, I shall be healed.”
29Right away the blood flow stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her disease.
30At once Yeshua, knowing in Himself that power had gone out from Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
31His disciples responded, “You see the crowd pressing upon You and you say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
32But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
33But the woman, scared and shaking, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
34And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in shalom and be healed from your disease.”
35While Yeshua was still speaking, messengers come from the house of the synagogue leader, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why do you still trouble the Teacher?”
36But ignoring what they said, Yeshua tells the synagogue leader, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”
37He did not let anyone follow Him except Peter, Jacob, and John, the brother of Jacob.
38They come to the house of the synagogue leader. He sees a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.
39After entering, He said to them, “Why make such a fuss and weep? The child didn’t die, but is sleeping.”
40They start jeering at Him. But after sending all of them out, He takes the child’s father and mother, and those with Him, and enters where the child was.
41Then, taking hold of the child’s hand, He tells her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”
42Immediately, the girl stood up and began to walk around! (She was twelve years old.) And they were overcome with astonishment.
43But He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said something to eat should be given to her.
